Yes, the iPhone 15 models support USB-C to Ethernet adapters, allowing for a wired internet connection with faster download speeds than Wi-Fi. This was confirmed by Apple in a support document last week, and by users who have received their iPhone 15 devices and tested them with Ethernet adapters.

To connect an iPhone 15 to Ethernet, you will need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and an Ethernet cable. Once the adapter is connected to the iPhone, plug the Ethernet cable into the adapter and the other end of the cable into an Ethernet port on your router or modem.

Once the iPhone is connected to Ethernet, an Ethernet menu will appear in the Settings app. This menu provides IP-related information and configuration options.

Users who have tested the iPhone 15 with Ethernet adapters have reported download speeds of over 800 Mbps. This is significantly faster than the fastest Wi-Fi speeds available, which are typically around 300 Mbps.

There are a few reasons why Ethernet can offer faster internet speeds than Wi-Fi. First, Ethernet connections are not affected by interference from other devices, such as microwaves and wireless routers. Second, Ethernet connections can support higher bandwidths than Wi-Fi connections.

If you need the fastest possible internet speeds on your iPhone, connecting to Ethernet is the way to go. However, it is important to note that Ethernet is not always practical or convenient. For example, if you are out and about, you will not be able to connect to Ethernet. But if you are at home or in an office with an Ethernet connection, using Ethernet can give you a significant boost in internet speed.
